Andorra Ski Resorts

Although Andorra is small there are a number of ski resorts offering skiing holidays: Soldeu and El Tarter, Pas de la Casa, Arinsal and Pal and Ordino. Below is some information on each of these ski resorts.

Arinsal and Pal

Arinsal and Pal are situated next to each other and are best suited for beginner and intermediate level skiers. They are often the primary chioce for first-timers who later progress onto other areas such as Pas de la Casa and Soldeu as their skill levels and confidence grow.

Arinsal is actually a living and working village rather than just a seasonal ski resort and so has many residents making the village a little more interesting than it's resort only counterparts with a first-hand view of Andorran life.

The capital Andorra la Vella is easily reached using public transport, and allows visitors access to duty free shopping and department stores.

Snowboearders are also welcome at Arinsal and there is a very good freestyle area.

Ordino

Ordino is also a fully funcitoning village rather than just a seasonal ski resort. This makes it an ideal location for families who might want to see something other than the slopes or who have a family member who does not want to ski.

Because of Ordino's location and situation it enjoys large amounts of high quality snow.
